A Volunteer Open House will take place on April 23 at 5:30 p.m. at the Museum at Bethel Woods. Occurring during National Volunteer Appreciation Week, this event enables current Bethel Woods Volunteers to share their passion with friends, family, and members of the public interested in volunteering at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.

"Our volunteers are some of the most knowledgeable and dedicated people I have had the good fortune to meet. It astounds me that so many people love volunteering for the sheer thrill of being at Bethel Woods – and that even more are asking how they can join!" elaborates Lillian Carbonara, Coordinator of Volunteer Services. "A volunteer program is about give and take; we learn something everyday being here, whether it's about history, the arts or simply about people while supporting our neighbors, youth and community."

In 2013, nearly 14,000 hours were contributed by volunteers to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. The team of nearly 200 volunteers greatly influences the venue's sterling reputation for guest services as they are the personnel that most regularly interact with guests and are often highly visible to all patrons.

Bethel Woods' commitment to supporting the community and the arts while offering top notch entertainment, cultural and educational programming experiences makes it a natural magnet for volunteerism.

Volunteering at Bethel Woods provides access to an array of experiences and interpersonal connections that can enhance one's personal, academic and professional life.
